Hello ,
Actually patients with laringomalacia, do have sleep in prone position that is head facing the bed, and these children do improve with age advancing and one more thing of caution childer do have problem of adenoids which cause breathing difficulty, so plz have adenoids which are similar to tonsils located in back of nose checked.
Thank you.
